    Hello listmates,

    XP Service Pack 2 has been in beta test for some months, and it looks
    like this is primarily about adding security features. A few are minor,
    but some look quite far-reaching. I don't believe I've ever seen a single
    bigger security push from Microsoft, and I'm very encouraged.

    I've written an analysis of XP/SP2's security aspects:

    Corrections/feedback welcome.
